Holston Health and Rehabilitation Center, licensed for nursing home care including skilled nursing, operates 94 beds in Knoxville, TN, and adds hospice and palliative care. Skilled nursing brings licensed nursing care around the clock.
Hospice and palliative care both focus on comfort. Palliative care runs alongside treatment, whereas hospice starts when life is nearing its end. Respite care gives temporary relief for a family, while short-term rehabilitation addresses a recovery anticipated to be completed.
Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 30 minutes daily per resident, counting hands-on nursing time. Rehabilitation operates in conjunction with clinical programs for IV therapy, podiatry, diabetes management, and pain management. A beauty salon is available on the premises, and gardening is one of the activities.
The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Among those, Medicare is linked to a hospital admission, covering temporary skilled care afterward but not for long-term residency here.
Daniel Graham McKenzie is administrator for NHC HealthCare/Holston Hills, LLC, the operating entity. For an individual requiring long-term nursing, a period of recuperation, or a respite for caregivers, the options available encompass all three.
